- Autogenotypic — Relating to or determined exclusively by the specific genotype of a single organism; independent of external genetic variations or crosses with other genetic lines. In theoretical genetics, the term describes characteristics, mutations, or replication processes governed strictly by the intrinsic hereditary constitution of that specific individual, free from allogenic influences.
- Autoradiogram — The final image, photographic plate, or digital representation obtained through the process of autoradiography, containing visual maps of the radioactive emission points from the analyzed sample. In molecular genetics, this graphic structure highlights discrete bands corresponding to DNA fragments or proteins separated by electrophoresis, serving as an essential scientific document in genome sequencing.
- Self-replication — The process by which a biological entity, a cybernetic organism, or a computer program creates an identical copy of itself using resources from its environment. In biology, the term describes the multiplication of DNA or RNA molecules, while in cybersecurity and robotics, it describes the capacity of a code (such as a virus) or a nanobot to multiply autonomously.
